I just took our 5 and 9 year old to Shrek’s Adventure. What fun! Fans of Shrek, Puss in Boots, or How to Train your Dragon will love this interactive experience, located at the Southbank in London. I figured this was a good post to write, in order to share the nuts and bolts of…

This is an easy post to write as I love both eating, and Disneyland! There are tons of good options for eating at Disneyland Paris. Obviously I haven’t tried all of the restaurants, but we did sample a fair number on our recent trip. Due to some unforeseen medical circumstances we stayed longer than expected,…

Yes it’s the review you’ve all been waiting for, our 2017 trip to Disneyland Paris, as a family of 5! The last time we visited was 6 years ago exactly, when my oldest was 2 and a half. She would have loved to return sooner, but we seem to have been so tied…

When we first moved to southwest London, several people asked us if we had been to “the amazing Bushy Park” yet. We were a little puzzled as though we had been to Bushy Park, we had only been to the playground and seen vast expanses of grass… Admittedly it is really lovely and it’s wonderful…

Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park is just breathtaking at the moment. We’ve been a number of times, but it never ceases to amaze. If you have never heard of it, it’s just a small part of the expansive Richmond Park, which is one of the eight Royal Parks in London (the others include Hyde Park,…

We’re lucky enough to have Merlin passes this year, and how better to use them than by checking out the new Gruffalo River Ride at Chessington World of Adventures! Over the Easter holidays I braved Chessington World of Adventures on my own with our 3 children, aged 8, 4 and 2 years. Am I…

Like birds? Love dinosaurs? You’ll have a great Cotswolds day out with the kids at Birdland. Over Easter we visited Birdland park and gardens, in Bourton-on-Water in the Cotswolds. It’s fantastic for families with young children as it’s just the right size to have enough to entertain everybody without getting too worn out. We have…

Last week we took our 3 little ones (age 8, 4 and 2.5) to Shetland pony club in Cobham, Surrey. What a gem of a place! The ponies here are just the perfect size for children under 10. If your children are even the slightest bit interested in ponies, they are guaranteed to have a…

Experience walking among “live dinosaurs” at Jurassic Kingdom London! We’ve just got back from a great day out at Jurassic Kingdom London, located at Osterley Park in Isleworth. The day exhausted me, but as the event is only on in London for one more week (till 17th April), I thought I would write my blog…

If you’re considering a visit to Kidzania London you’ve come to the right place! I’m always on the lookout for new activities to do with my 3 young children. Not only to keep them occupied (though that’s obviously important too!) but because I genuinely love to see their happy little faces when they are enjoying…
